Does it have to come with the dildo feel Wiimote cover? :/

You can just pop WM+ right out of the Dild... I mean Wiimote Cover. I don't really see what's so bad about coming with an optional cover.

What IS that cover for?

For avoiding lawsuits against Nintendo (or at least making them easy to deflect). Personally I like the jacket, sometimes it's easy to hit someone with the Wii Remote while playing Wii Sports.

 

Sure, it makes hitting people easier. But what's the point of hitting somebody if it doesn't hurt them?

Well played ;)

It still hurts with the jacket, but it doesn't leave a mark. So my girlfriend can't call the police :P

typical Nintendo, nickel and dimming all the uneducated customers, the smart ones will get it bundled with a game.

Actually, if you read some of the other posts in this thread you'll realize this is Gamestop robbing consumers. As usual, however, the bundled games are the best deal.

It is overpriced in the first place.

 

 

UK has it worse...£20 for motion+ and the bundles do not save any money at all.

 

£30 game

£20 motion+

£50 bundle

 

Con artists.  Nintendo are so good at it they even have the people being conned defending them.

Standard Wii game price is £40 (at least that's what Super Mario Galaxy has for RRP at Amazon). 

Grand Slam Tennis with WM+ is listed for £50 RRP at the same site, WSR the same thing, while Virtua Tennis without WM+ has a £40 RRP.

Conclusion: Both tennis games are full priced and the bundles cost £10 more. Promotions vary between sites.

EDIT - notice there doesn't seem to be an official Virtua Tennis with WM+ bundle. That's probably why game.co.uk has those prices.

EA Grand Slam Tennis it will be. And later in the year Red Steel 2.

@KylieDog: This is what your link says:

RRP £39.99
Save £10.00

What you're seeing at game.co.uk is called a promotion... Now who's spinning things? Isn't £40 the normal price for Wii games?

What I see at Amazon UK is that the bundled WM+ costs £10, standalone it costs £25 (not counting promotions).

Massive de ja vou here ...

To be fair to KylieDog, those "savings" are practically on every game, in fact you would question a game that actually had the RRP.

 

For instance every game on my wishlist isn't RRP

The thing is, Nintendo only decides the RRP. The actual selling price is decided by the retailer. So if KylieDog wants to criticize Nintendo, he has to compare the RRP, not the game.co.uk prices.
